Zags out of the running for Marshall

Anthony Marshall, the 6'3 CG from Las Vegas, has cut his list to a final 6 schools, and Gonzaga is nowhere to be found. The 6 schools remaining for Marshall are UCLA, UNLV, Stanford, Baylor, Colorado State, and San Diego State. This is certainly an interesting list, considering the fact that Stanford and UCLA have not yet offered Marshall. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on Marshall staying local and playing at UNLV, as he has a great relationship with coach Lon Kruger. However, if the Pac 10 powers on his list offer, then everything could change. TKR has just found out that SMU is also on the list for Anthony.

As for the Zags, guard was certainly not a position of priority, and it seems that the focus will be on the bigs for the class of 09. We should also remember that the Zags have already secured the commitment of Mangisto Arop, who is a 6'6 CG that played exceptionally well in the recent FIBA tournament.
